Paris Debates Placed in Deputies Chamber Over Ineligible Placemen
The Paris papers focus on M. Remusat's proposal to disqualify certain placemen from sitting in the Chamber and the expected rejection as ministers marshal votes. The opposition targets M. Guizot, while Spain and Italy report on unrest, censorship, and intrigues as monarchies seek to manage insurrections and protect regimes amid shifting alliances.
